HC95404: VBSCRIPT ERROR: ERR_1002 , THE METHOD ITEM FAILED.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• ABSTRACT: the Selection.Item method fails.
  .
  Problem:
  When trying to retrieve the items contained in the Selection
  object, the "Item" method fails.
  I have based my code on the example code that is contained
  in the documentation of the Selection object :
   Dim myDocument
   Set myDocument = CATIA.ActiveDocument
   Dim mySelection As Selection
   Set mySelection = myDocument.Selection
   Dim number
   number = mySelection.Count
   msgbox "Number of Bodies in the selection = " &
  Cstr(number)
   for i=1 to number
     msgbox "Element name is : " &
  mySelection.Item(i).Value.Name
   next
  .
  SCENARIO:
  1. Open a Document with any element,
  2. Select something in the Feature Tree displayed in the
  Document
  3. Execute the Macro while there is an active selection
  ==> There is an error message displayed as soon as the
  "Item" method is called on the selection object
